PRG Trailers Paddle to Victory at Overwater

We are delighted to announce the winners of the inaugural Audlem RNLI Festival Overwater Raft Race 2013. This was a hotly contested race with some degree of skill, but mostly true grit, determination and a small amount of cheating! The winning raft team were PRG Trailers (No. 7).

The Best Dressed Raft Trophy went to the team from Audlem Fire Station called "Hawaii Fire O" who were intent on paddling their way to victory but were somewhat hampered by the large inflatable palm tree on their bow.

A stewards' enquiry was called for by the Overwater Engineers' team, to investigate claims that the Canal Cops tried to take down their details by hanging on to their flag and having an illegal tow!

A special mention should also be made of the youngest team from Audlem Scouts who flew the flag bravely and completed the course to loud cheers from the crowd.
